What is your opinion on healthcare reform?
It's still waiting for OBAMA Health Care Reform... What has been proposed so far is NOT. OBAMACARE has nothing what so do with: - Increasing Access - Improving Care - Decreasing Cost. In fact it Decreases Access - Worsens Care and INCREASES cost. The only people who it decreases Cost for - are the 40% of Americans that DO NOT pay taxes. For them Health Care REALLY IS FREE... however the REST OF US pick up the tab. In addition to SIGNIFICANTLY increasing the layers - which are GOVERNMENT JOBS and therefore do NOT stimulate the economy... the will also will have doctors who CAN retire - going into retirement. Our best and Brightest YOUNG PEOPLE will not go into medicine, because their job will be LESS about curing people and more about being a civil servant. If this is a good idea: (which it's not)... Why is CONGRESS exempt? Why do the UNIONS get a RATE break? Why does it contain a "no tag back" clause - that says Future congresses can't repeal or modify it? Why are NEW workers mandated to go to OBAMACARE? Why, once you try ObamaCare, can you not go back to PRIVATE insurance? Why do they call it the "public option" when if it's there EVERYONE pays for it? Why did 7 Democrats have to be BRIBED to try to pass it the last time? Why are the MAJORITY of AMERICANS against it? Why is reconciliation necessary?
What's your opinion about David Icke?
Poor David took too many hits to head playing football (soccer)I believe. I have tried (in vain) to make ANY sense of his claims that we are a genetically engineered species bred by a reptilian alien race....and that's just ONE of his claimsNow, I don't think that there is a person alive who does NOT harbor some sort of belief in a "conspiracy theory"....for example: the assassination of John F. Kennedy. REGARDLESS of the number of recreations, scientific tests, witness statements, Warren Commission report, etc., a LARGE percentage of the population believes that there was a government, mafia or other connection to his death. I think this is a fairly normal thing since there are some "mysteries" and discrepancies surrounding the event. This is a conspiracy theory that DOES have some merit and probably always will.Now, jump to another of David Icke's "beliefs" that humans/human consciousness is essentially controlled by the reptilian race via a "Saturn-Moon Matrix". He firmly believes that Earth's moon is essentially a SPACECRAFT and/or a space portal used in conjunction with the rings of saturn "broadcast" a signal to our brains amplified via the moon. This "broadcast" is what makes us see, feel and experience the thing we know as REALITY. In other words....we are essentially living in "The Matrix". We exist but we don't really "exist".....I (and MANY others like me) personally think that he EITHER may be slightly (EXTREMELY) mentally ill....OR (to put it succinctly) he is one of the greatest bullshit artists of modern day. So it stands to reason that at some point his view of reality has become totally detached from what almost ANYONE would consider "normal" OR he is laughing all the way to the bank. You decide which.
Pro gun people ; why are your houses so incredibly easy for criminals to break into ?
It stems from a primal male desire to show those around you that you are the "Alpha male" which primitive human males(Pro-gun people) do by bragging about theirs guns. So instead of getting a better Security system on their house, they'll just leave it weak so when someone breaks in they can show they are "tough" by shooting them with a gun and bragging about it. "Hey rick, the other day a man broke into my house so I got out my automatic military grade shotgun and blew his head off!" "Wow, you're so tough, will you marry me?" "Sure, just let me finish polishing this 20 lb machine gun that is not at all a compensation for something!" ......Or at least, that my take on it.

Do you believe "sheeple" exist? If so, were you one of them in the past?
I dare say most people are in majority of situations and I therefore am one too.Take any topic that that has multiple sides to it Trump, Events in Charlottesville, Transgenders, the Google Memo Guy, War on Terror, War in Syria … and think about who are the sheeple?Lets take the Google Memo Guy for example, what sides are there?Those who condemn it.Those who defend it.Both sides have been very vocal in their opinion on FB and Twitter even in news. Many people send hate mail and even death threats to the guy for sending it and others to Google for firing him.I am convinced that both sides are mainly (and I mean heavy heavy majority) composed of sheeple with some (single digits) people educated of the matter. And how do I differentiate between the two? At first by the answer to the question “Did you read the memo in its entirety?” if not and you stated an opinion with definite answer, you are sheeple by default. Then continue to “Based on what evidence do you agree or disagree with something” Did you perhaps research the sources he cited and found them lacking? Did you find additional sources that support his claims?…That for me is the difference, if you research all or most available information and only then you formulate an opinion, you are not a sheeple, otherwise you are.But here is the problem, some topics are EXTREMELY complex and in order to educate yourself, you would need to spend days and weeks to even begin to understand what it is about and weeks and months to be educated enough for your view to be more objective then subjective, and how many issues can you educate yourself in? Five? Maybe ten if all you do is keep up on the latest research in your chosen area of interest. And how many opinions you have? In fields of Economics, Society, Politics, …Herein lies the crux of the problem, if somebody asks me for an opinion on war in Syria, I do start by stating, that I have not spent enough time to have a thorough understanding on the issue but …. and then follow with an opinion of slightly more educated sheeple.
